Lei Feng once said: "A drop of water can never dry up until it is put into the sea, and a person can only be most powerful when he integrates himself and the collective." ”
Each one is a small force, and only when everyone gathers together will they burst out with greater power and achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two. Therefore, only by integrating into the collective, small forces are gathered, gathered into greater forces, and more missions are accomplished.
From ancient times to the present, there are some people who can put down their external things and give everything to the state, so that their value has been brought into full play. Li Zongren, one of the most famous generals in the Republic of China period, had a young wife in his later years, but because Li Zongren was too old, the two did not stay together for long before leaving, leaving only the thirty-year-old wife, but this wife also left the world after he left, converted to Buddhism, and handed over all the family property to the state.
Why would she marry Li Zongren, who was already late, and why did she choose such a path in the end?
Married to Li Zongren
Li Zongren was a famous general of our Republic of China period, and led his subordinates to win our first victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, after which he participated in many anti-Japanese wars and won many victories. Later, Li Zongren went to the United States, and it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that he broke through many obstacles and returned to China.
After returning to his homeland, his second wife died, and Li Zongren was sad and sad for a long time. Li Zongren is old, in order to take care of his old age, the state even helped him find several partners, but he refused, but finally came together with a nurse who was only 27 years old.
The nurse's name is Hu Yousong, and there are two different theories about Hu Yousong's origins, one is that she is the illegitimate daughter of the famous movie star Hu Die in the last century, and in Hu Yousong's own memories, she has said that she personally witnessed her mother's performance in Shanghai.
Of course, there is another theory, saying that her father was killed in the Nanjing Massacre, and she was adopted as a concubine by the warlord Zhang Zongchang at that time, and later followed the man with the surname of Hu, so he changed his surname to Hu and took a name for himself. Of course, what exactly her origin is, Hu Yousong has never said.
It can be accurately known that Hu Yousong graduated from the nursing school and met Li Zongren when she was a nurse in Jishuitan and Fuxing Hospital. At that time, Li Zongren was 76 years old, but his deeds of that year have been circulated, and Hu Yousong also had a deep admiration for Li Zongren. During the period of taking care of Li Zongren, he got along with him day and night, and slowly developed feelings, and finally came together regardless of the age difference.
In 1966, the two of them held a wedding in Beijing, and this couple, who were nearly forty years apart, also attracted a lot of attention. Many people do not understand Hu Yousong and think that she married Li Zongren for fame and profit, but after marriage, Hu Yousong did not manage Li Zongren's money, and later events proved this.
Break down prejudices and be yourself
Marrying Li Zongren, many people believe that Hu Yousong's purpose is not pure. But Hu Yousong did not take the initiative to explain anything to the outside world, but continued to do what he should do and take good care of Li Zongren. For the whole family, she does not want money, nor does she have too many requirements, as long as she is comfortable.
Because Li Zongren was too old and suffered from physical diseases, he was admitted to the hospital after living with Hu Yousong for two years. During this period of time in the hospital, Hu Yousong took good care of Li Zongren and was responsible for her husband's diet and living, so that Li Zongren did not have much pain in the last period.
For Hu Yousong's care, Li Zongren's son Li Youlin expressed his gratitude, saying: "Thank you very much for Hu Yousong's care, she is the Li family." It can be seen from this that Hu Yousong really admired Li Zongren and sincerely married him, and also won the approval of Li Zongren's other family members.
After Li Zongren's death, Hu Yousong did not marry another person. In the days of living alone, Hu Yousong learned to paint and was not bad. Although as Li Zongren's widow, she received part of Li Zongren's inheritance, he did not move the money and things, but kept them well and lived on his own meager income.
Donate all to the country
After Li Zongren's death, Hu Yousong did not covet a penny, as the widow of the hero, the state wanted to give her some subsidies, but she refused, saying that she could survive on her own. Although life is not rich, and even some are poor, Hu Yousong likes this life very much.
Later, in the decades after Li Zongren's death, she successively donated the 80,000 yuan deposit left by Li Zongren and the 100,000 yuan subsidy issued by the state to the state, and donated more than 100 precious photos left by Li Zongren to the National History Museum.
In addition to the property left by Li Zongren, the money hu Yousong earned on his own was also donated to those in need. Her pension for her elderly was donated to Hope Primary School, and the 5,000 yuan she earned from painting by herself was also donated to the disaster area.
Because Li Zongren and Taierzhuang have close ties, after the li Zongren Museum was built in Taierzhuang, she was invited to return there and was warmly welcomed by the people there. Of course, she also donated some of the items left by Li Zongren to the museum in Taierzhuang.
Hu Yousong was poor all her life and had no children herself, but in 1995 she chose to take refuge in Buddhism and became a monk at Guangji Temple in Beijing. Later, due to cancer, he was admitted to the Golden Mountain Temple in Shandong Province, and finally died at the Golden Mountain Temple.
Although Hu Yousong has not made too much contribution to the country like Li Zongren, she has always had a patriotic heart, within the scope of her ability, to help more people and do some things for the country, which has been respected and loved by many people.
summary:
Perhaps, Hu Yousong's strength is very weak, but she is willing to dedicate everything to the country and do something for more people that she can do. Although there are no rich living conditions, she has a rich spiritual world and soul, she lives freely, she has also been recognized and respected by the masses, and her life is meaningful.
"If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings." Just as Lin Zexu said in this sentence, the interests of our country are above our personal interests, as long as it is beneficial to the motherland, we should not be afraid of being hurt and avoid it.
Perhaps, at present, our strength is still very weak, and we cannot do anything yet, but as long as people with the same patriotic feelings gather together and work together to work for the prosperity and strength of our motherland, a powerful force will be formed. As a young person in the new era, as a back wave in the eyes of the public, you should do something meaningful and exert your own strength!
